scraps, anyone?

i was going through my rather jam packed scrap containers today, looking for specific shades and tones, and realised it was a bit crazy to hoard pieces that i will probably never use. so i've got a tidy stack of scraps to give away, most have been given to me or have come to me through buying scrap packs on etsy. a range of sizes, some quite small, lots of designer prints (amy butler, alexander henry, etc), some vintage, all a bit too busy in colour and pattern for me - maybe they will work for you? leave a comment if you think you could use them, no matter where you are in the world, and i'll randomly pick someone in the next couple of days.

Last night I began my first hexagon quilt. I have always wanted to try making one but have put it off because life was so busy. Life isn't busy anymore, unfortunately, and I know I've got to adapt so I sat myself down, cut a couple of hexagons and gave the process a shot. Funny thing is that the hours flew by and by the time I turned in I felt some measure of peace. Plus, I had a lovely new hexagon flower, the first for my quilt. So, long story short, I know just where I'd use your scraps! I know anyone would appreciate a new selection of scrappy goodness.

Oh what a wonderful gesture! I've been sort of down lately... Unable to indulge in any fun new fabric due to some rough economic times. Scraps are actually my favorite pick-me-up as the surprise gives me something to wait giddily for! Thank you for the chance - these would become part of my scrappy Metro Link quilt.

Yes please! They look lovely. And, my toddler would love some more 'clothes' for her Woodkins doll. (You might look them up; my daughter is about the same age as Mae, so I bet that she would like the dolls, too. They are a wonderful quiet time activity). - Megan
